Substance Abuse

In Mississippi, substance abuse treatment is available in inpatient and outpatient rehabs. These facilities can treat a range of substance use disorders and even co-occurring mental health challenges, in dual-diagnosis treatment programs. These programs involve an assessment with an addiction expert, personalized treatment plan, and evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). By addressing the underlying issues contributing to addiction, you'll leave treatment with the skills to sustain your recovery.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

You can start using nicotine replacement therapy as soon as you quit using tobacco. These products, such as nicotine gum and nicotine patches, treat your physical dependence on nicotine. To address any psychological dependence, counseling and support groups can be good resources.
